The First Lesson In Christ's

Their Own Second And Sober Thoughts.

When Christ Was About To Leave The World, He Made His Will. His Soul He Committed To His Father; His Body He Bequeathed To Joseph To Be Decently Interred; His Clothes Fell To The Soldiers; His Mother He Left To The Care Of John; But What Should He Leave To His Poor Disciples That Had Left All For Him? Silver And Gold He Had None; But He Left Them That Which Was Infinitely Better, His Peace.

The Provisions Of Christ's Gospel Appear Mean And Scanty To The World, Yet They Satisfy All That Feed On Him In Their Hearts By Faith With Thanksgiving.

It Is Better To Get Wisdom Than Gold. Gold Is Another's, Wisdom Is Our Own; Gold Is For The Body And Time, Wisdom For The Soul And Eternity.

It Is Common For Those That Are Farthest From God, To Boast Themselves Most Of Their Being Near To The Church.
